Making it work: Analysing different ways of tackling worklessness

With this publication, the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) aims to unpick existing approaches, to provide a typology of approaches to worklessness. This serves to create a path through the range of policy and intervention options open to national and local agencies who are grappling with this issue. Informed by CLES work on the ground, this publication, sets the policy scene, explores the complex nature of worklessness and introduces a framework for delivery. Finally, the report provides an outlook at the challenges ahead, and pointers as to where policy will need to change in this harsh economic climate, thus seeking to add value to the Houghton Review which examines how the Government can better support local partnerships to deliver more effective worklessness interventions.
